(2x3/2−way valves) are not suitable for vacuum or low
pressure operation if they are supplied via connection 1.
· Operate these valves in a separate pressure zone.
· The operating pressure for this pressure zone must be
set in accordance with the diagram in appendix A,
Fig.A/1.
The following conditions must be fulfilled in order that you
